The six coins are legal tender across the Great Sioux Nation, which has significant populations in Manitoba and Saskatchewan as well as nine U.S. states. The denominations include one, five, 10, 25 and 50 cents as well as $1, and each set is completely unique owing to its arrow tip and postcard, both of which were produced by a member of the Sioux.

The coins’ reverse designs, which honour the American bison, were chosen in a design contest featuring contemporary Sioux artists. They depict a bison skull (one cent); a female with calves (five cents); a tribal headdress surrounded by a running buffalo (10 cents); a hunter on a horse (25 cents); a buffalo scout (50 cents); and a Sioux chief wearing a hair pipe breastplate ($1).

“Once again, a big thank you goes out to all who donate to the youth program,” said organizer Lisa McPherson, who’s the national youth co-ordinator of the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association (RCNA) and the first vice-president of the Ontario Numismatic Association.

Parents are encouraged to bring their budding young collectors aged 17 and under to the Young Collectors booth – open Saturday and Sunday – as well as to the auction on March 24 at 1 p.m. There is no cost involved.
